From Fes
This Full Day Trip to Casablanca from Fes will allow you to discover Morocco’s economic capital and one of its most fascinating modern cities. Casablanca, often called the “White City,” owes its name to a group of Spanish and Portuguese sailors who were enchanted by the whitewashed houses facing the sea in the historic Anfa district. Today, Casablanca stands as a symbol of Morocco’s blend of tradition and modernity.
We will start the trip early in the morning by picking you up from your accommodation in Fes, then drive comfortably across scenic landscapes towards the Atlantic coast. Upon arrival, our guided city tour of Casablanca will begin, giving you the opportunity to explore its main historical and cultural landmarks.
Our first stop will be the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest and most impressive mosques in the world, built partly over the ocean and known for its majestic minaret — the tallest in Africa. After that, we will head to the Corniche of Ain Diab, where you can enjoy a relaxing walk along the seaside promenade filled with cafés, restaurants, and ocean views.
Next, we will visit the elegant Mohammed V Square, located in the heart of the city and surrounded by beautiful French-inspired architecture, symbolizing Morocco’s colonial past and modern identity. From there, we will continue to the Habous Quarter, also known as the “New Medina,” which perfectly combines traditional Moroccan souks with French urban design. You will have time to stroll through its charming narrow streets, browse local crafts, and enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch.
In the afternoon, we will drive through the Anfa District, Casablanca’s oldest and most upscale neighborhood, famous for its white villas, palm-lined avenues, and historical significance. We will also pass by the Royal Palace and the impressive Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur, a beautiful example of neo-Gothic architecture turned cultural center.
Finally, after exploring all the highlights of the “White City,” we will start our drive back to Fes in the evening, marking the end of your Day Trip to Casablanca from Fes. This excursion offers a perfect blend of cultural discovery, architectural marvels, and seaside charm in Morocco’s largest and most cosmopolitan city.
Yes, the Hassan II Mosque welcomes non-Muslim visitors during specific guided tour hours. If the timing aligns with your arrival, you’ll have the opportunity to explore its breathtaking interiors — from intricately carved cedar ceilings to marble floors and glass panels revealing the Atlantic Ocean below. It’s truly one of Morocco’s most awe-inspiring sites.
The drive from Fes to Casablanca takes about four hours each way, passing through scenic Moroccan countryside and small rural towns. During the journey, you’ll see fertile plains, traditional Berber villages, and glimpses of everyday Moroccan life. Our comfortable air-conditioned vehicle ensures you enjoy the long but beautiful ride with breaks when needed.
Casablanca stands out as Morocco’s most dynamic city — a perfect blend of modern elegance and traditional charm. It is home to impressive landmarks such as the world-famous Hassan II Mosque, the historic Anfa district, and the lively Corniche of Ain Diab. A visit lets you experience the country’s cultural evolution, from its colonial architecture to its vibrant seaside atmosphere, all in one day.
